Patch Gold

It was a long day at work so it was a late finish but the dogs still needed a walk so off we went around the patch, it was very quiet with the odd Whitethroat, Blackcap and Chiffchaffs. It wasn't until I got to the New Sewage works that things started to happen. 2 Very scarce Grey Partridge by the main gates a patch tick, then flew off west when a couple of ladies walked past a little too close. Made it to the ponds when a black bird flew into the trees with what I thought was pale wing patch's. When I found it sat in the tree I was surprised to see it WAS a cracking looking Male Ring Ouzel. After this it went quiet and time for tea...Typical though It was just a Binocular day never took scope.
